[Closed] NL SH Silver TribunCaesar

Last weeks coaching was on Party again... NL50 like usual. I ran absolute insanely being up ~4 Stacks after 500 Hands, unfortunately losing 2 of them at the end
But also had some great moves involved, here is one of the biggest:

Villain was a TAG. I don't ever see him playing a made hand that way. He'd definately go for a bet, as I'm not that likely to fold anyway. We had some aggressive history so far. I think he really just wants to get me to fold with his play.
On the River I would've even called a shove! His check is going to be a c/f almost always and even though I'm gonna have the best hand usually I decided to get him to fold here not to show him my hand and to make another A fold.

Hi,

the coaching of tomorrow (NLSH silver, sunday 12 october) has been cancelled ?

It has been cancelled too today.

Thid coaching is over ?

26.10.2008 Coaching Review

We had a pretty interesting coaching I guess. I played a 22/20 style with a lot of difficult spots. I played a maniac on one table. Unfortunately he had position on me and I didn't get that many hands against him.

This hand was against completely unknown and shows you that you should not slowplay on this limit unless you have a really good read to get paid off if you play it passive.

This hand was against a 20/18 tag

You can see the result of the hand, but do you understand why I played the hand as I played? Tell me why.......

the ak hand. you bet the turn to take the pot down because it was checked to you twice. because he only called the turnbet and generally played his hand very passive post flop you bet large on river because you assumed he could not stand the bet right?

Yesterdays Coaching wasn't very successful, but well, it's another day in the office isn't it.
Because I was playing against some tags on the tables against who I restealed a lot I want you to read our article about steals and resteals: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/no-limit/207/1/

"Re-steals are the contra to steals by your opponents. The relevant stat is the "Attempt to Steal" value (ATS). It shows how often your opponent raised first-in from the BU. This value is usually higher than the PFR, which means that your opposition is looser there than in other positions.

The following table frames the re-stealing range against the ATS of your opponent. It doesn't really matter whether you're in the SB or the BB. In general, you should re-steal a bit tighter from the SB than from the BB!"

8J isn't the most favorable hand to resteal with, but: "Note that the table does not reflect the maximal mode of play. We're missing critical information about our opposition. These ranges, however, are not exploitable by your opposition and guarantee a positive expected value."

Out opponent is a 14/13 tag who folds a lot to resteals. He is very tight, so we shouldn't resteal too often but our hand is not that important, he will not call very often, He will more likely to 4bet if he has a hand.

Yesterdays Coachign was pretty interesting because I played kinda laggy due to many good hands I got. I played like 27/24 with 11% 3betting.

Due to that we had many interesting and close spots.

That hand is interesting because we are a little deep and the fish c7c flop and donks out on the turn. What do you think he plays like that? Does his play makes sense? How should we proceed?

On Sunday we had a nice session with not too many difficult hands. I played solid 20/17 stats with a profit of $112.

The BB was kinda reasonable taggy, utg was a fish. On the flop I figured that my hand is often good. As both checked to me on the turn I can see myself still ahead very often. The board allows tons of draws, therefore I bet there to check behind most river. This play is kinda close, you can also give it up on the turn. Well, as you can see BB had KQ, wich is pretty bad played. He should have folded that hand preflop. In the long run he will mkae minus with that.

In this hand we have KQ ourselves. Because I don't want to call ther but my hand can be best I restealt vs the tag on the BU who was isolating the limping fish with a wider range. As both called and I got this flop I see at least one of them calling a cbet with a pocket or a J I just c/f. As it gets checked around on flop and turn I get an easy b/f valuebet on the river.

Hi,
Nice coaching tribun!!!
I wanted to know if it's possible that you write your hands on the chatbox before any action. If that's too hard, you can tell your hands before the action. Sometimes you tend to tell your hands after the action. Since full tilt don't have hand replay like Pokerstars, we miss the way you played the hand.
Except that the coaching was great. I came late but I learned a lot.

Hey, guys.

Todays coachig was pretty interesting because one german guy entered all my tables. He played pretty laggy but not bad I have to admit. He was also the reason, why I announced my hands sometimes a little late. I first thought it could be a colluder. Next time I will find a better solution, such as just switching the tables or announcing a wrong hand to find out if he is colluding. Sorry for that.

That's a hand versus him. It's petty standard from my part. So let's have a look at his hand. He called me on the flop with a flush draw and got an open ender on the turn as well. Versus a standard tag or a nit his play would be a little overplayed, but vs me I actually like it. We had a a lot hands vs each other where we raised and forced the other one to fold.

This opponent was a fish and is more about standard lines.
On the flop we have a just overcards but there is a good possibility that he also missed, on the turn we get the flush draw, but there is a high possibility that he has something and is not going to fold. But we still bet, because we want to keep the initiative, he can still fold and we build the pot in case we do hit. On the river we can do nothing else then c/f.
important in this hand: bet the turn, do not c/c!

Sorry guys, I was the reason he announced his hands delayed

btw. what cards did you have in this situation?

It looked so weak and I really wanted to 5-bet you, but I didn't think you give me that much credit, plus I'm always dominated if you give me action.
Calling is no option I guess, as I have little implieds, but huge reverse implieds

I dunno, but wasn't a good hand for sure, otherwise I would have gone all way with it.

Have you been in the coaching? I hope not, but tell me the truth. I can find out anyway.

I was in the coaching for a minute, then decided to play with you, quit the coaching player and joined the tables.

And usually I'm playing NL100 and 200 so it would make little sense to collude you at NL50.

Well, ok. You played pretty loose aggressive heh? Did you make plus vs me?

Let's call it a draw

♦
hehe

Lol, the events from last sunday become even more interesting ♦.
@BigStack83 - In that hand, he was just testing if you were listening if I recall it right.He announced he had AA and min4bet you with J9s(maybe Im mistaken).
Anyway,good show by both of you. ♦

yeah, that could be that hand. ^^

Nice one! He announces AA, min-4-bets and I fold, I wonder why my account is still open ♦

btw it is really hard to believe, that a reasonable player like Tribun would only minraise AA in that spot unless we were in a leveling-war

Ok, we had a nice session yesterday. I have 2 similar looking hands where I made different decisions. Let's have a closer look at those.

So, whats the difference and why do I go broke once but fold the other hand?

first hand: the guy is rather unknown but seems to be aggressive and kinda loose. The board delivers tons of draws and he can have a worse made hand. As he called me on the flop I only have a pot size bet left and therefore decided to shove to protect my hand.

second hand: The opponent called me in the big blind ( i raised from early), that narrows his range. He was a standard 16/12 tag. The board is coordinated but there are no flush draws possible. On such aboard our opponent will very often have a set, 2 pairs or the straight if he raises us, therefore we have an easy fold.

I hope you see the difference
